Be sure to check your local ordinances for short-term rentals. Many municipalities are stepping up regulation. Are you required to get a license? What are the terms (for instance: one dedicated parking place per bedroom)? Are you required to collect local lodger's tax or other taxes? Are you willing to do this bookkeeping?
Be aware that most short-term rental customers expect a great location and a lot of amenities (cable TV, wi-fi, nice furnishings, linens, and kitchen wares, etc.), and everything has to be working perfectly all the time. Do you have the time to put into managing the property? Will you do the cleaning between guests yourself, or will you hire a cleaning crew?
I have a short-term rental on VRBO in a high-demand tourist area, and it is rented about 265 days/year. i have 5-star reviews on VRBO, and repeat guests. I manage the property myself and hire an assistant and cleaners. I've never had any problem renters, but I have had stressful mechanical failures while tenants were in the place--you have to respond very quickly when someone's vacation is on the line.
I inherited this property a couple years ago. While I started making a small profit in my second full year of renting, and have my own reasons for wanting to keep the place, from a purely economic perspective, I think I'd be better off selling it and investing the money in the stock market.
